Excellent point. A federal judge said today that they may want State to confirm that there is not a backup of the entire e-mail archive (personal incl.). This will be developing for quite some time I imagine.

They *just now* implemented OpenMP 3.1, a standard 4 years old. OpenMP 4.0 which is now more than 2 years old is unaddressed while GCC has had it for some time(indeed, they recently added support for OpenACC).

Somehow I don't think scientific users are going to be lining up to use it

I don't know about their most recent phones, but the Kyocera Rise is a piece of crap. It's buggy and slow, just about the only thing it has going for it is that it is one of the last phones which has a full keyboard. Also the price.

The purpose was to balance the large and small states' influence in Washington. There wasn't any language added saying states must be roughly the same size in population, so the system is working as intended. Now, the result might not be something that results in governance that the slashdot crowd is fond of, but it isn't a perversion of the intent of the constitution in the same way as gerrymandering is.

But this is meaningless of course, because Senate "districts" can't be gerrymandered. This is the two-house system working as intended. That's a clickbait headline.

I agree with everything you said. But while it may be true that your starting salary does not increase by too much, from my experience with my friends and I who have graduated with and without internships, your increased competence on the job when you have internship experience means you are more likely to be more quickly promoted. The benefits in salary are not necessarily immediate.

That is NOT why she folded up groklaw. See more at http://www.groklaw.net/article...

Speaking of nitpicking, it is "compliment". If we were "complementing" the good ones, we would be adding to the submissions rather than merely commenting on their inadequacies.

More like just State Supreme Court. SCOTUS stands for (S)upreme (C)ourt (O)f (T)he (U)nited (S)tates.

It's called the ternary operator.

An excellent example is that of the federally mandated minimum drinking age: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...

Briefly, Congress threatened to cut specific funding to states unless they followed the federal government's leadership in setting the drinking age at 21. This despite Congress having no direct authority in the Constitution to make the states obey them. It's a pretty clear-cut case of federal overreach.

I know this won't help you now, but in the future you should know that Lenovo Thinkpads have some of the best out of the box linux support I have ever seen. All the little details work seamlessly and effortlessly.

And how do you propose to do this, given that the article is about teleworkers ?

If you're on Exherbo(or even Gentoo since the packages can be adapted pretty easily), the packages are in the works, and I'll mail anyone a copy of my work(running fine on two computers) if one asks.

Based on numbers, the study shows SSDs to be more reliable than HDDs. The best data I have seen in that article is the following:

SSDs: 1.28--2.19% over 2 years

HDDs: >=5% over 2 years

The HDD data comes from: http://media.bestofmicro.com/2/N/289103/original/google_afrtemputilization_475.png The SSD data comes from the table on Page #6.

I don't think any of this data is particularly surprising, HDDs are mechanical so the curves for failure would not be linear. The most interesting part of the article for consideration with SSDs is that SMART is going to be near useless for them. Since most failures are random occurrences in electronics which SMART isn't good at detecting, we may need better technology for detecting SSD failures.
